Report: The Tush Push is Expected to be Banned (UPDATE)

The future of the Tush Push will be voted on today at the NFL owners meeting, where it will likely be banned. The NFL owners are expected to be the first group to finally stop the play:
How many times in so many different ways can we come on this blog and say it’s bullshit? Well here’s one more for the road – I know the Eagles are going to be fine, but it’s the principle. It’s the way the Packers are going to get their way after showing they’re cowards. And to tell you the truth, I don’t even think I’m most mad at the Packers anymore. I hate the teams like the Bills, Rams, and Falcons, who opposed the play but didn’t have the balls to put their name behind it. They did it in the shadows away from the cameras like the slimy bastards they are. It’s about crybabies like Dolphins reporter Joe Schad who now end up getting their way. It’s the disgraceful way the NFL went about the initial vote, tabling it because the opposition didn’t have enough votes for the original proposal. If I felt like the NFL owners fought fair I could live with this, but they didn’t. Every data point cited and injury concern mentioned was proven to be bullshit. That’s the main issue I have. Eagles fans should feel like they were cheated. You were playing by the rules, doing everything right, and you were pushed to the side because of powers above you that you had no control over. When the owners add more games and more international travel so they can line their pockets the player’s health and safety will be an afterthought. It’s all hypocritical bullshit and we’ll all be there in September watching every single game because the league has us by the balls and they know it.
The NFL is a shady business, man. Jason Kelce mentioned on his podcast that he’d be in Minnessota to defend the Tush Push because in previous meetings NFL owners and head coaches lied and said the play was the reason he retired:
These are the guys we’re fighting with. The ones who can lie and spin comments and get away with it. The ones who can ban something just because their team isn’t good at it. Honestly, the Tush Push being banned is a metaphor for how soft this country has become. If you don’t like someone because they’re better at something than you are, don’t try to better yourself. Bitch and complain about it until you get your way. I heard Millennials and Gen-Z were all a bunch of coddled brats that didn’t have an ounce of work ethic in their bodies, but it turns out it was the Boomers who are the biggest generation of pussies ever.
The good news is Jeffrey Lurie has one last trick up his sleeve before the vote. *glass shatters* In my best Jim Ross voice: “THERE’S KELCE! THERE’S KELCE!”
UPDATE: They still don’t have the votes and will now the owners will discuss the Tush Push ban in private in whatever the hell a “privileged session” is:
This is getting ridiculous! They need three different votes to ban the Tush Push? The NFL owners are having more trouble stopping the Tush Push than NFL teams are.
